BALL"
"Choose alone n proper mate
But marry"

But proper time to marry"
When you read what 1 have written here shall be
lying cold In death"
The words were written by the trembling white hand
OF young GIRL standing In her bridal robes alone, at
midnight, in the vestry OF an old, isolated church.
Continuing she wrote rapidly the leaf she had torn
from the marriage register:
Despite the shock. II will not matter much TO you al
though but a few moments since-Ony few moments
you led the altar. and vowed there to love and
cherish me-Oh cruel words! Oh. false vOws!-when you
knew your heart cold and bitter toward me-
going to set you free, knowing must part from
you. am going die but death is swecter than life
without You Yes, at the very altar you shall have your
freedom back again.
" Your poor, unhappy, loving DORIS"
Let read the romance OF the few brief days that led
to the love of this mated bride and groom how they
met and what caused this hasy and most reckless OF all
reckless marriages: and why the young bride fled from
her bridegroom at the very altar.

Influence Of the Ballot.

Properly considered. the woman suf-
fraSe movement is, or should be, of
the prOfOundest interest to all the
friends of labor reform. The ballot

dustlial condition of the person hold.
ing it. The negro was freed without
being enfranchised. but it was his bal
lot that put him on an equal footing
with the white man in the labor
market. That women to-day are sub
ject to inequalities Of condition. unjust
determinations as to wages and terms
of labor. as compared with men, is a
fact. That with the ballot in their
hands these Inequalities and unjust
determinations would cease is, we be-
lieve, certain. That they should
cease is for the interest of all the PEG
pie who labor, men and women alike
Once the working-men grasp THE
truth the movement for woman suf-
frage will receive an impetus that will
surely carry it to victory.-Eostor

Legal Personality Of Woman.

The question whether woman is le-
gally a person has come up before the
courts at different times, and has been
decided in the affirmative or in the
negative according to the liberality or
conservatism of the judges. Thus. in
Massachusetts,, where properly quail
fled persons were entitled to prac-
tice law. the Supreme Court decided
that Miss Leila j. Robinson, though
properly qualified, was not person !;
and special act of the Legislature
had to be passed to enable her to prac-
tice. Now, for the first time. the
question has arisen whether man is a
person. One Samuel Clark, recently
arrested and bound over to the grand
jury for being found in y disordcrly
house in Iowa, was released on writ
of habcas corpus, tried before Judge
Given. The grounds for the decision
were that the word person as used in
the statutes does not apply to man
found in such house, but only to
women. The Iowa Tribune caustical-
ly says:
'In other words, woman Is a per.
son when the law wishes to punish
her, but man equally guilty is not
person. Again, on election day
woman is not a person. because voting
is to be done: but man is person,
and has the privilege of making laws
and electing Judge Given to interpret
Them"

THE BABY.

The little tot'ring baby feet
With faltering steps and slow.
With pettering echoes soft and sweeS
INTO ny heart they 60;
They also 60, in grlmy plays,
In muddy pools sad dusty ways,
Then through tho house ia trackful mazs
They wander to and fro.
The baby hands that clasp my neck,
With touches dear TO me,
Are the same hands that smash and wreck
The inkstand foul to see;
They pound the mirror with . cane,
They rend the manuscript in twain,
Widespread destruction they ordain
In wasteful jubilee.
The dreamy, murm'ring baby voice
That COOS its little tune,
That makes my listening heart rejoice
Like birds in leafy June,
Can wake 1T midnight dark and still,
And all the air with bowling I'LL,
That splits the ear Nth echoes shrill,
Like comets GU. of tune.

WOMAN'S WORK.
Harriet Beecher Stoves Ideas OF What
Women Should he Permitted to Do.

Harriet Beeci,er Stowe's Ideas Of What
Women Should he Permitted to Do.
WOman's Rights conventions are a
protest against many former absurd.
unreasonable ideas-the mere physical
and culinary idea of womanhood, as
connected only with buildings and
shirt-buttons. the unjust and unequal
burdens which the laws of harsher
ages had cast upon the sex. Many of
the women connected with these
movements are rs superior in every
thing properly womanly as they are in
exceptional talent and culture.
There is no manner of doubt that
the sphere of woman is properly to be
enlarged. and that republican govern
ments in particular are to be saved
from corruption ans failure only by
allowing to woman this enlarged
sphere. Every woman has rights as a
human being first, which belong to no
sex. and ought to be as freely con-
ceded to her rs if she were a man
and first and foremost. the great right
of doing any thing which God and
nature evidently have fitted her to ex-
Gel in. If she be made a natural ora
tor. like Miss Dickinson, or an astron-
omer, like Mrs. Somcrville, or a
singer, like Grisi. let not the technical
rules of womauhood be thrown in the
way of her free use of her powers. Nor
can there be any reason shown why a
woman's vote in the State should not
be received with as much respect as in
the family.
A State is but an association of fam
flies, and laws relate to the rights and
immunities which touch wOman's most
private and Immediate wants and dear
est hopes, and there is no reason why
sister. wife and mother should be more
pOwerless In the State than in the
home. Nor does it make a woman un-
womanly to express an opinion by drop
ping slip of paper into a box. more
than to express that same opinion by
conversation. In fact, there is no
doubt that in ali matters relating to

FALLING AND RISING.

Difficulties In tho Way OF ElevatIng One'N
Mental ami Moral Standard.
ANY body can fall below his average
standard without an effort. No one
can rise above his average standard
without an effort. This suggests the
direction in which our endeavors ought
to be constantly making. Unless we
try to gain. we shall never advance.
Unless we try to gain. we shall drop
backward. 1t is just here that so much
depends on our ideass-in our minds
and in our models. If we have the in
spiratiOn and the Indictment of no
bic aspiration, or of noble example,
we arc likely to be striving to be bet
ter than our best If there is nothing
before us which we recognize rs beyond
our own highest attainment, we are in
danger of failing to keep up with our
former mark of progress. One of the
bright stories of Margaret Gatty tells
of school-boy who had a high reputa-
ton rs mimic. 1t seemed as though
he could be just like any one whom he
pleased to initiate. But wiser friend
asked him to show how the handsomest
boy in the school looked, and how the
best speaker detained. Then, as the
young mimic found himself quite in
competent to this, he realized that all
of his power of imitation lay in the di-
rection of lowering his own standard.
and of mimicking defects which had
not yet become his own. And it would
be we'll if others also realized this truth
as to their power of imitation. 1t isso
much easier to fall than to rise. Blessed
is he whose inspiring IDEAL in his
friendships and in his spiritual life, is
way above his present possibilities Of
attainment.-& s. Times,

The keeper, who had been very
placid, suddenly became excited, and
pointed in the direction of the bcar-pit
of which he had been speaking. "Just
look there!'
The pit is stone well, about twenty
five feet deep and fifteen feet in diane
ter, with pole in the middle for the
bears to climb. and an iron railing
around the top to keep the spectators
from tumbling in. When the keeper
pointed to it, the bear was on the top
Of the pole. and a man standing on the
edge inside the railing was leaning
across the pit with bun in his mouth.
which he wanted the bear to take out
with his paw! The man was trying to
reach the bear, and the bear was try

succeed. Instead of approaching this

torily ordering him out. the keeper,
after the momentary excitement of the
discovery, became as calm rs ever, and
went up'to the railing as if nothing out
Of the common were happening; so
